it would like almost exactly like the gold star, except its a sheriff’s badge, so the star appears mounted on a circular shield and the points have spheres at the end. the face isnt a happy face, but rather that of a grizzled and surly boom-town lawman. the badge is rusty because its made out of common steel. and the most important part, the mustache is like 5 times bigger.

I think that’s some sort of container. Some liquid is still dripping from it. I haven’t been in a Starbucks enough to know what they sell in a container like that. I don’t think it’s a pint of chocolate milk.

In simple terms, a trademark is anything that directly represents your company or product. That can be your name, your logo, or occasionally somethng else (like a one second audio clip of someone singing your company name in a certain way).

It cannot be something that’s merely “closely associated with” your company, like the design of your cups or your corporate slogan. That can be copyrighted, since it’s something you created, but it is not a literal stand-in for your company name.
